Ok so to start off July 3rd my lo had to be hospitalized because she wasn't waking up and her pupils wouldn't dialate, so the July 4th we get released she wasn't 100% better but she was better, they couldn't tell us what was wrong just what it wasn't. We get home on the 4th and our lo who is still slightly out of it but is about 80% better goes to bed no problem. July 5th she wakes up happy and yammering which is great was non stop she didn't have a nap all day and didn't go to bed till 9pm then slept for an hour and woke up screaming she refused to go to sleep until we pulled her into bed with us around 3 am. Now it's July 6th and she is happy and playing all day takes a nap just fine then tonight rolls around and again she doesn't want to go to sleep. I finally got her to sleep just a few mins ago @ 12:00 am by rocking her and we have to have her door opened now and have it set up so she can get to us or she freaks out. I understand the hospital visit scared her like us but differently as she went to sleep one night then woke up hooked up to machines and not home she doesn't know she lost a day because she's so little I just wish I knew how to get her going back to bed again and for her not to be scared any more. I feel so bad for her but I'm also scared that it could happen again as they never found the cause.

I would go with your mamas intuition on this one and get a 2nd opinion. If you feel something isn't right, then go from there. If it was me, I would get another opinion. I'm sure she is probably just off schedule and trying to get back into routine, but if you feel something is off, then go with your mama intuition.

She may be just extra clingy. Or you may just be scared as well, which is totally understandable, I would be. I'd be just as clingy as baby. It is important to try to get a routine back to normal once you feel comfortable that everything is ok for her to be left alone at night. Maybe start off with putting a pack n play in your room or something for her to sleep in in your room that's not necessarily in your bed? So she is still close by, so you can keep a close eye on her to ease your mind, but not in your bed so she doesn't get in the habit of sleeping with you guys every night?

Thank you. She's starting to sleep in her bed it just takes her a bit to get there now. I'm still worried but not because I don't think she's fine she's back to her normal self. I just wish that even 1 out of the 4 doctors that saw her someone could have told me what was wrong with her so I could know how to keep it from happening again so I could stop being worried or scared of it happening again.
